Abstract
A large amount of time and money has been spent on watershed programs in an effort to assist local landowners. Since landowners in most districts had not found the program appealing, it seemed that some attempt should be made to identify some of the factors associated with landowners’ attitudes toward the watershed district. This is the main problem with which this study is concerned. It also points out some of the features of the program, or parts of it, which landowners do not like. Realizing that a watershed program is not necessarily in the best interest of all, or even most, of the people In a watershed district, an attempt is also made to identify groups of landowners which may be benefited or abused by the program.
